POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Node pool resource - node pool to create The arguments in this group can be usedto specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not givenarguments in this group but can be set in other ways.

To set theproject attribute:

  • provide the argumentnode_pool on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--project on the command line;
  • set the propertycore/project.

This must be specified.

NODE_POOL
ID of the node_pool or fully qualified identifier for the node_pool.

To set thenode_pool attribute:

  • provide the argumentnode_pool on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in thisgroup are specified.

--cluster=CLUSTER
cluster of the node_pool.

To set thecluster attribute:

  • provide the argumentnode_pool on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--cluster on the command line.
--location=LOCATION
Google Cloud location for the node_pool.

To set thelocation attribute:

  • provide the argumentnode_pool on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--location on the command line;
  • set the propertycontainer_vmware/location.
REQUIRED FLAGS
Configuration of the node pool

This must be specified.

--image-type=IMAGE_TYPE
OS image type to use on node pool instances.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.

--boot-disk-size=BOOT_DISK_SIZE
Size of VMware disk to be used during creation in GB.
--cpus=CPUS
Number of CPUs for each node in the node pool.
--enable-load-balancer
If set, enable the use of load balancer on the node pool instances.
--image=IMAGE
OS image name in vCenter.
--memory=MEMORY
Size of memory for each node in the node pool in MB.
--node-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]
Kubernetes labels (key/value pairs) to be applied to each node.
--node-taints=[KEY=VALUE:EFFECT,…]
Applies the given kubernetes taints on all nodes in the new node pool, which canbe used with tolerations for pod scheduling.

Taint effect must be one of the following:NoSchedule,PreferNoSchedule, orNoExecute.

Examples:

gcloudbetacontainervmwarenode-poolscreatenode-pool-1--cluster=example-cluster--node-taints=key1=val1:NoSchedule,key2=val2:PreferNoSchedule
--replicas=REPLICAS
Number of replicas to use on node pool instances.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--annotations=[KEY=VALUE,…]
Annotations on the node pool.
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
Display name for the resource.
--validate-only
If set, only validate the request, but do not actually perform the operation.
Node pool autoscaling
--max-replicas=MAX_REPLICAS
Maximum number of replicas in the node pool.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.

--min-replicas=MIN_REPLICAS
Minimum number of replicas in the node pool.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.
